Well & Good

Well & Good:
  • "neza" means "well" (an adverb: "intunbuzi")
    • mwaramutse nesa -- to wake up well
    • gukora neza -- to work well
    • kudya neza -- to eat well
      • (as an aside, this phrase is as plagued by ambiguity in Kirundi as it is in English.  In the US, a Kirundi speaker would probably say it to mean "to watch what you eat", whereas in Burundi, they would probably say it to mean "to eat richly.")
  • "meza" means "good" (an adjective)
    • ni meza -- it's good
